When do the velocity and speed of a moving body become equal?

The velocity and speed of a moving body become equal when the motion is along a straight line with no change in direction. In such cases, the velocity and speed have the same magnitude.


Why is the absolute value of speed equal to velocity?

It's not. Unless you add a direction to speed it will not become velocity. Since positive and negative are sometimes used to denote direction, absolute value of velocity may equal speed (certain situations)


When average velocity and average speed is equal?

For the instantaneous value of average velocity, average speed and average velocity are equal.


When is speed equal to the magnitude of velocity?

Speed is equal to the magnitude of velocity when the object is moving in a straight line without changing direction. In other words, if the velocity vector is pointing in the same direction as the motion of the object, then the speed will be equal to the magnitude of the velocity.


When does speed becomes velocity?

Speed doesn't "become" velocity. Velocity is simply speed as a vector, meaning that not only the magnitude is specified (as in the speed), but also the direction.


Is final velocity equal to speed?

Yea it is.


Why is the value of velocity equal to speed?

This is because speed is defined as the absolute value of velocity - irrespective of the direction of motion.


When do the velocity and speed of moving body become identical?

It doesn't make sense to compare a scalar quantity (such as speed) with a vector quantity (such as velocity). Therefore you can't say that they "are the same" or "are not the same". If the velocity is constrained to be along the x-axis, for example, then specifying the speed (-10 m/s) will also specify the velocity (-10 m/s x-direction).


When is speed equal to magnitude of velocity?

Speed is equal to the magnitude of velocity almost always. Speed is total distance / total time no matter which way the distance goes. Velocity is the distance from a starting point divided by total time.


Is absolute value of velocity is equal to speed?

Ye.s


Can objects have equal velocities without equal speed?

The magnitude of the velocity is always equal to the speed. But velocity is a vector quantity (has a magnitude and direction) while speed is just a scalar quantity (only magnitude). So velocity and speed are never equal.


Is speed equal to velocity?

Velocity is a vector, which means it has a direction, but speed isn't. Speed is the absolute value of velocity. Velocity can be negative, meaning that the speed is opposite to the direction that you're calling the positive direction.
